As seen in Figure 5, within the last 5 semesters (spring 2018 – spring 2020), it canbe observed that the results from the spring 2020 projects were comparable to the previoussemesters. The majority of sponsors felt that the students, even though they collaborated virtuallyfrom March 12, 2020 in spring 2019, until the end of the semester, still attained or exceeded theoriginal goals of the project. This was not surprising to the faculty advisors as most teamsdemonstrated resilience and tenacity and were able to find ways to complete the project evenwith the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though it was challenging for the students andfaculty advisors to collaborate virtually on hands-on projects, timely feedback
